In depth
Verdict
Beauchamp Oracle gets the confident vote here with Martin Ossie and Skew Whip rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Mr Splodge last time out. That represents solid form in the context of this race and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Martin Ossie rates the main danger on his latest win over Bear Bear. However he has little experience of regulation fences and for that reason he is opposed. Skew Whip also won well last time out when beating Rebel Army but this looks more competitive and he needs to improve to score. Of the remainder Coomakista is unexposed and is another open to improvement but for the winner we return to Beauchamp Oracle.
